But on TE37, even a +35 in an 8' isnt going to be concave. Is that what you want?

Well im stuck with the stupid 5x100 pcd.. im soo limited to sizes i want a 9-9.5" rim but many brands dont carry this size in say a +35... Only 5x114.3..

I dont mind a little dish and if i were to get the te37s i would want some dish in them..

+35 still wont give you an aggresive face TE37

This car is +22, which im sure is what everyone suggesting gunmetal TE's is thinking of.


Yeah....nah, not gonna happen.

Soooooooo as much as it pains me to suggest it, if they're just gonna be road wheels, go the Rota Grids. You'll get aggresive face in a 5x100.

In which case, you dont need chops done, because what jimmy posted earlier is perfect

Jonno it's too pricey to swap out pcds. Need new rotors on top of everything else plus then the rims.

White enekis are on the top of the pile atm. Pity they only come in 8 inch wide with my +35. I want to put on a 245 tyre but that might give it that bubble look which would look gay.

The enekis are proper race rim which also means light.

Rota grids are second if I can get them in titanium finish.

Ditto, just change the colour Tino.

8.5" are wide enough, that is what the new sti has, and they have 245/40/18's.
I have 245/40 on my 18" S203/204 wheels (8.5" wide) and they sit really nicely on the rim and it handles really well too. There is not much tyre movement and it doesn't look stupid, unlike all the drifter's/want to be's, who fit there tyres to rims about 2-3" wider than they need to be.
Take a took at serious/professional circuit race cars and they don't have there tyres stretched to the limit on rims that are too wide.

Over stretched tyres is just another bullshit seppo look!
